An ink for ink jet printing includes a liquid vehicle comprising water and toner particles with a colorant dispersed in or associated with the toner particles. The ink composition combines the print quality advantages of xerographic printing with the economic advantages of ink jet printing, thereby providing waterfast, archival quality prints.

Ink jet inks containing toner particles as colorants

A process for preparing an electrophotographic imaging member comprising providing a photogenerating layer on a supporting substrate and applying a charge transport layer forming mixture to the photogenerating layer, the charge transport layer forming mixture comprising a charge transporting aromatic amine compound of one or more compounds having the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are an aromatic group selected from the group consisting of a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group, naphthyl group, and polyphenyl group and R.sup.3 is selected from the group consisting of a substituted or unsubstituted aryl, and alkyl group having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms and cycloaliphatic group having from 3 to 12 carbon atoms, a polymeric film forming resin in which the aromatic amine is soluble, solvent for the polymeric film forming resin, and from about 1 part per million to about 10,000 parts per million, based on the weight of the aromatic amine, of a protonic acid or Lewis acid having a boiling point greater than about 40.degree. C. and soluble in the solvent.

Electrophotographic imaging system comprising charge transporting

An electrophotographic imaging member comprising a substrate, a ground plane layer comprising a titanium metal layer contiguous to the substrate, a charge blocking layer contiguous to the titanium layer, a charge generating binder layer and a charge transport layer. This photoreceptor may be prepared by providing a substrate in a vacuum zone, sputtering a layer of titanium metal on the substrate in the absence of oxygen to deposit a titanium metal layer, applying a charge blocking layer, applying a charge generating binder layer and applying a charge charge transport layer. If desired, an adhesive layer may be interposed between the charge blocking layer and the photoconductive insulating layer.

A photoreceptor used in xerographic imaging process and normally including a photoconductive layer comprising a mixture of photoconductive particles dispersed throughout the layer with resinous binder material is joined by bonding to a conductive base layer through an intermediate layer which provides a charge carrier injecting interface between the photoconductive particles and the base layer. The charge carrier interface is obtained by forming the intermediate layer from high mass conductive particles dispersed within an insulating resinous material, and causing photoconductive particles in the photoconductor layer to contact conductive particles in the intermediate layer along the bond interface. The conductive particles are selected so as to have available charge carriers at suitable energy levels whereby the photoconductor to conductor particle contact points form individual charge carrier injection contacts which permit certain xerographic imaging processes to be used. The mass and volume loading of conductor particles in the intermediate layer causes such layer to be conductive as a whole whereby the photoconductive layer may be connected to ground or any other potential desired at its backside. The invention has particular utility in combination with a controlled geometry photoconductive layer, and a simple method using heat for obtaining the injecting contact while making the controlled geometry photoconductive layer is described.

A xerographic photoreceptor layer which comprises trigonal selenium particles dispersed in an insulating resin matrix, the trigonal selenium particles being present in an amount from about 1 to 25 percent by volume of the layer, and dispersed in a controlled manner to form a plurality of continuous paths through the thickness of said layer. Methods of making and imaging the photoreceptor layer are also disclosed.

Disclosed is a method for improving the photo-induced discharge characteristics of certain cadmium chalcogenides selected from the group of CdS, CdTe, CdAs, CdSe and CdSSe. The method involves calcining a mixture of the cadmium chalcogenide or a precurser thereof in the presence of cadmium oxide or a compound which decomposes upon heating to cadmium oxide in an amount sufficient to provide an excess of unreacted cadmium oxide after calcination.

A biased roller electrostatographic image transfer system in which the image transfer fields are generated by a biased conductive member inside the roller and tailored by a partially surrounding stationary conductive shield which is also inside the roller. The shield extends over the pre-nip area to suppress undesired pre-nip transfer fields, but is apertured in the nip area to allow a high transfer field to be applied therethrough the shield.
